The Giver by Lois Lowry
IMPORTANT NOTE:  The Giver falls more in the young adult category and deals with some heavier themes which young ears may not be ready for. So if you’re listening with youngsters around, we advise discretion.We're diving into the classic The Giver by Lois Lowry.  Did you know this 1993 classic was the #11 most challenged book (a challenge is an attempt to ban it from a library) by the American Library association? We discuss why and as always delve deeply into the prevalent themes in this fascinating book.
